CHICAGO - President Biden is planning to end his bid to make April Perry Chicago's top federal prosecutor. Biden will instead nominate Perry to be a U.S. District Court judge for the Northern District of Illinois. Perry was initially nominated by the President to succeed U.S. Attorney John Lausch as the first woman ever to hold the office. However, her confirmation was stalled for months by Republican Senator J.D. Vance, who claimed he was doing so to protest the federal prosecution of Donald Trump.
